# AI use cases for Professional Services

> In a services firm the work is people and time: staffing the engagement, tracking hours against budget, getting proposals out and invoices paid. Most of the friction sits between systems, when a project manager re-keys hours into the billing platform or a partner assembles a status report by hand. AI belongs at those seams: reading the request, drafting the document, checking the numbers, and handing a finished draft to the person who signs it. Judgment about clients, pricing and people stays with the partner.

## 6 AI workflows for Professional Services

### Engagement intake and staffing match

Reviews new engagement requests against staff skills, availability and utilization targets, then proposes a team. The resourcing lead confirms the match before anyone is assigned.

## How to read the badges

Two badges on every card. Complexity describes the build. Deployment describes where it runs.

- **Starter** — A contained workflow: one agent, one or two systems, and exceptions simple enough to route to a single person. Often the first workflow an organization automates.
- **Standard** — Several systems or steps, defined exception routing, and human approval points designed into the workflow. Most of the library sits here.
- **Advanced** — Several agents coordinating, regulated or sensitive data, persistent state across sessions, or decisions where an error is expensive. Governance design is most of the work.
- **Platform-native** — Runs directly on Anthropic's platform: Claude models, tool use and MCP (Model Context Protocol) connectivity, with Altivus providing monitoring, governance and ongoing management.
- **HeyQuinn recommended** — Runs on HeyQuinn, the AI runtime by Altivus, because the workflow needs persistent agents, several agents coordinating, granular permissions, approvals, audit and Mission Control visibility, on-premises or customer-cloud hosting, or models from vendors other than Anthropic.
